Why Major Gifts Matter

Transformational Impact

A major gift can endow a scholarship, support multiple students, or expand our reach to new schools and parishes.

Faith Passed Forward

Your generosity helps families keep their children in Catholic schools where faith and values are part of everyday life.

Legacy of Hope

Legacy gifts ensure that future generations will have access to Catholic education, regardless of financial circumstance.
